R redecorates ROOMS
I love doing up the house. In fact, nothing makes me happier than a fresh coat of paint and new home accessories. It is almost a Christmas tradition that I have initiated. So, come November and I have a harem of men in my home. From plumbers to electricians, painters to carpenters, they all become…

Q questions QUIRKS
I once knew someone who took ‘being a miser’ to a new level. He’d flatten a shaving cream tube to such an extent that you could pass it off for a silver sheet. All through my childhood, I remember him using the same night suit on every visit. Back then, I thought, he wasn’t that well…

P pressurizes PARENTS
Google Image Once upon a time, there was a good for nothing fella. He refused to move a muscle or make an effort to do anything with his life. Yet, his mother doted on him. However, his father was worried for his future and tried to drill some sense into the boy’s head, but to…

Nothing *Avoiding further interrogation* What are you thinking? Nothing. *Laughs out loud* So? Nothing. *Couldn’t care a hang* And so we have the most (mis)used word in…

M mystifies MUMBAI
Ideally, I’d call it Bombay. A city that I was born and bred in. No matter where I go, I always want to come back home. So, a pictorial post to the city I love was a given. I am sharing some snapshots of South Mumbai. These are much loved tourist spots. Every time you see them,…

L lures… LAMHE
Lamhe, in Hindi, means moments. It also is the title of my most favourite movie ever. I must have watched it over 80 times, if not more. Directed by the Late Yash Chopra, it had Anil Kapoor and Sridevi in the lead roles. I think, this was one of the finest movies from the banner, Yashraj Films. In fact, I think it was the…

K knits KALEIDOSCOPE
Today is a special dedication to a young lady who turns 11 on Sunday. I am lucky, for she calls me Mom. And I’d like to believe, this would be how she’d summarize her year gone by… Yet another year passes me by Funny, but time does indeed fly I think my yesterdays were pretty fine …

J jostles JAYWALKERS
Just to set the record straight, a Jaywalker is nowhere related to Johnnie Walker. In fact, it is a term attributed to those who love to walk, into oncoming traffic and sorts. We were taught as kids, that you cross a street when you see the green walk sign only. I actually experienced this only on my first trip…
